I would like to thank you for arranging our recent trip to southern India. The whole experience was amazing. The organisation was superb throughout with very different but equally good hotels and guides.

The most important aspect however was the rearranging of the itinerary due to the floods in Chennai so we could continue our holiday and fly home …
